“The universe is made up of experiences that are designed to burn out your attachment, your clinging, to pleasure, to pain, to fear, to all of it. And as long as there is a place where you're vulnerable, the universe will find a way to confront you with it.”
― Ram Dass
Smooth as the river we flow through our experiences in life, traversing rocks, clearing damns, bottlenecks, clogs, rapids, to effortlessly flowing streams. The attachments, good, bad, ugly, beautiful, terrible, joyful, sad, ecstatic or tragic, endlessly pull at our flow, at our beingness, keeping us tied to the numinous, while restraining us from the luminous, only allowing us to see the shadows we are ready for.
All attachments must be forgiven and reconciled in self, with the little s, when bridging into Self, with the big S, to allow divinity in every moment. The self uses our fears, passions, pains, desires, or blind-spots to harden and solidify our prisons of reality.
As all is mind, all is illusion and manufactured in the psyche. When we realize it was all a magic mirror, we forgive even the mirror as we reconnect to our Selves unconditionally.
"Do what Thou wilt is the whole of the law." -Aleistar Crowley
Taken out of context, Crowley enabled generations of magickal armies of self-serving megalomaniacal "me, me, me's," thus defeating his own mission to be the Aeon, by disabling his ignorant followers with the lies of self, with the little s. He has led those armies into "hell," depending on how far they are able to ascend passed his dogmatic soul trappings. That is why, if you know, You know.
Maybe that was his plan, to lead those not ready for truth to where they will find what they are looking for, back to their own hall (hell) of mirrors of self, with the little s.
When realized in the vein of his true meaning, it removes self from the equation completely.
He continues to mock the profane with his message, knowing that you must be clear within to even understand those simple words, saving the truth for the sacred. Therein lies the mystery, to see beyond his words to the true meaning, which was always towards purity and harmony. The mystery is and was always about the clarification of tiphareth to bridge to the next level, or as Crowley named it, to face "Chorazom," the guardian of the abyss, or Da'ath, the hidden sephirot.
This guardian shows you the whole mirror, the Self mirror, with the big S, which highlights all of your indulgences, positive and negative attachments, and asks you why, to bring light to all illusions/attachments seen and unseen. This goes beyond just allowing love of self, with the little s. It encompasses allowing love of Self/self.
This is the hardest part of the work, doing it by magnifying all parts of self, with the little s, to be deconstructed into the truth of Self, with the big S. This begins at the tip of the shadow work iceberg that so many avoid, including Crowley himself.
This is the part that is often corrupted by those uninitiated in the light of understanding the mysteries. It works how you do. If you see it as a means for selfish gain and limited material gains, then that is what it is. When you see it as it was created, it is truth, but only if you have eyes to see it, ears to hear it, and a heart to know it.
Who is this Thou of which he speaks?
(Note the big T)
It is Self/self in union, yoga perfected, the All, Yahweh, Allah, Pravana Brahma, the Universe, Infinite Intelligence, Divine Spirit, and every other name for God. It is the understanding of merging self with Self and loving as that truth.
If we are aligned with Source and act through source, then all is love and all is harmony. When alignment is present, we are acting as God, as Divinity in the physical. In harmony, Self, with the big S, guides all to the self, with the little s, that is needed for the Great Work to be completed. It rests on us to hear and answer the call of the All, and to step into our highest truth, beyond all attachments.
To hear God, we must know silence.
To see God, we must know darkness.
To feel God, we must know the void.
To accept God, we must know love.
To be God, we must know Thyself.
"My vulnerability is my strength."
-Ke$ha
Accept all of your parts and allow love to be your now.
The more I learn, the more I realize, if it isn't the most simple and pure, it isn't what is essential.
All is mind with a pure heart.
"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
-Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
Just be love.
It is.
